Matt, the # ME48FR uses the included plug-and-play harness: connect red and black leads to the battery, route the rear plug under the vehicle, and tie the small blue wire to a keyed or brake circuit for auto-stop. The system’s protected by a 20-amp fuse and typically draws around 18–20 amps while spreading.
How do you plan to route the wires back to the spreader? Along the frame with zip ties? view full answer...
Hey Brenda, for Base Line models like 6.3 Cu Ft # ME26FR and 3.7 Cu Ft # ME86FR, you get an in-cab touchpad controller with “fast, slow, vibrate” modes so you can tweak output without stopping (vibrator is not included with base line models).
The Blaster models like 6.5 Cu Ft # ME98FR and 12.8 Cu Ft # ME48FR offer advanced controls, including a vibrator, blast mode (a surge of power) and automatic spinner shut off when braking, so you avoid waste at intersections. See photo on this page... view full answer...
